Lakers fans remember Porter as one man who gave their favorite team fits as a member of the Denver Nuggets over the last few years. The Nuggets sent him to Brooklyn during the offseason for Cameron Johnson, and he's currently averaging 25.7 points, 7.4 rebounds and 3.2 assists a game while shooting 48.5% from the field and 39.8% from 3-point range.

Luka Dončić (38 pts, 13 reb, 10 ast, 2 stl) led the Lakers over the Nuggets 115-107 in the nightcap of our NBC and Peacock doubleheader. Keyonte George put up a career-high 43 points as the Jazz defeated the Timberwolves 127-122.

The Denver Nuggets have seen some career-best play out of veteran guard Jamal Murray through the first half of this NBA season, so much so that he could be en route to a first-time All-Star selection to join Nikola Jokic as the first pair of Nuggets to be named an All-Star in a single season since 2009-10.

The Lakers trailed the Nuggets by as many as 16 points on Tuesday, but they dominated the second half en route to an impressive victory.

Luka Doncic notched a 38-point triple-double, and the Los Angeles Lakers defense held Jamal Murray to just two second-half points in a tough win against the Denver Nuggets.

The Los Angeles Lakers survived a blistering first half from Jamal Murray and overcame a 16-point deficit, beating the Denver Nuggets 115-107 on Tuesday night.

The biggest nightmare the Lakers can have this trade deadline season is the roster staying the same. Change is needed.
